@ Cali – Yes, you can do it! This is coming from the person that used to say people don’t need savings accounts – that’s what credit cards are for. We are SO close to having our debt paid off. It is an amazing feeling to take control of your money, instead of the other way around … Good luck! If you have any questions, shoot me an email.

Was browsing your about page and landed here. Oy. I *so* needed to read this — VERY inspiring! And my new mantra re: debt? “I. Can. Do. It.” Sheesh, if I’d stop being a professional student, I may not have as much.

Thanks for sharing this part of your story. It is really valuable to me.

No, we didn’t sell it. But we’ve almost paid for it! The thought did cross our mind.

What about the car? Did you sell it? It seems that Snowball was the biggest problem on itself.

Great post – I’ve been on self-imposed spending hiatus this year so we could focus on paying off our non-mortgage debt (which was mostly my school loans)…. We’ve paid off over $24K so far! Good luck knocking out the rest of it ~

Love the article! There are some great ideas in there that I need to follow.

Here’s one tip I know for keeping a low grocery bill – only buy meat when it is on sale. And when it is on sale, stock up when you can. Don’t plan your dinner around the idea that “I want potroast tonight.” Plan the meal around what was on sale that week. And if you don’t know what is on sale, where, or what is a good price, ask your mother or grandmother if they live in the same town – you know they know where the bargains are.
